Life Skills Program

Program Description:

The Life Skills Program at the Rise Center for Success supports students requiring moderate to intensive assistance with daily living activities. Our approach emphasizes skill acquisition, practical application, and seamless transfer across settings, empowering students for success in daily life and future endeavors.

Individualized reading and math instruction enhances functional and independent living skills. Students may qualify for NYSAA assessments while working towards a Skills Achievement or Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Credential.

The student-centered curriculum focuses on essential life skills, including personal care, household management, community integration, social communication, and vocational training. Through immersive learning experiences and real-world simulations, students gain confidence and competence in navigating their surroundings, building relationships, and achieving independence.

We equip Life Skills students with the knowledge, skills, and resilience needed to lead fulfilling lives and reach their highest potential.
